If you need to handle nested dicts, then you can leverage a simple recursive approach:

# Python 2
from collections import Mapping

def filter_none(d):
    if isinstance(d, Mapping):
        return dict((k, filter_none(v)) for k, v, in d.iteritems() if v is not None)
    else:
        return d

# Python 3
from collections.abc import Mapping

def filter_none(d):
    if isinstance(d, Mapping):
        return {k: filter_none(v) for k, v in d.items() if v is not None}
    else:
        return d
